Self powered soft robot developed by Chinese scientists reaches world s deepest point

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: A bionic robot developed by Chinese scientists recently reached a depth of 10, 900 metres (35, 761ft) in the Mariana Trench, the worlds deepest point in the western Pacific Ocean. The design mimics deepsea snailfish, whose bones are finely distributed in a gellike body to resist high pressure in the deep sea. Researchers from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou used polymer to create a soft artificial muscle for the robot. The selfpowered autonomous robot operates on lithium batteries and comes with controlling chip circuits in its belly. The achievement made the front cover of the prestigious scientific journal Nature on March 4, 2021. Support us:
